George Del Barrio Founder of The Vanderbilt Republic & MIDHEAVEN.Network, George is a first-generation American artist deeply versed in photographic physics, with a focus on archetype expansion. His practice demands that technology serve the body/ spirit/ community, not constrain it. An expert curator, designer, director + producer of immersive live arts and film/ video, he pioneered the Live Performance Camera Obscura projection mapping system, our “hardware”. George brings in decades of production experience in spaces of (literally) all kinds, and will ensure that our designs are ready for the rigors of touring.
